Players may create homes, towns, and space stations in a sandbox that’s like Minecraft in space.

As there are no NPCs, the gameplay and economy are entirely player-driven, and all interactions take place on a single server.

The voxel-based world is the foundation for the market-based resource economy, crafting, and building systems.
